The US and Iran remain locked in conflict, the US continues its 'counter blockade', the Strait of Hormuz is now firmly shut, and there is no diplomatic resolution in sight. Meanwhile the Russians and the Chinese are coordinating and there are the first threats of action coming from China.
The war in Ukraine continues, Konstantinovka will soon fall, and Budanov is predicting disaster.
Trump is again floating the possibility of the US quitting NATO.
All the signs around the world are pointing to a deepening recession, except that the financial markets remain apparently oblivious. The behaviour of the markets in this crisis is so extraordinary that I know that more and more people (and I spoke with a friend of mine who is a banker over the weekend) think that it can only be explained by active government/central bank intervention.
And of course there was Orban's defeat in Hungary.
So a huge amount to discuss.....
Looking forward to engaging with all of you today,.
